ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book would never have come into being without the support, encouragement, and insights of so many people equally committed to changing the lives of marginalized children across the globe. Their wisdom and experiences have fed this book’s themes and made me far wiser in the writing of it than I was when it was first conceived. I have been fortunate to teach motivated and curious international development students at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University. For three years they have challenged the assumptions that govern this field and asked the difficult questions that have helped define the issues in this book. I am especially grateful to my first class of students: Jemila Abdulai, Liz Decker, Regis Dock, Clare Dreyfus, Caitlin Galliker, Silvia Homberger, Dana Huff, Abhilaksh Likhi, Felix Lung, Laura Senne
